Bridge, Island, Bay

The Bridge, The Island, The Bay emerges from the industrial skeleton of Glebe Island Bridge, a silent steel monument arching above Rozelle and Blackwattle Bays. A relic once linking city and port, it now floats in suspension, overlooked yet potent. To the Traditional Custodians, these waters are sacred thresholds, resonating with enduring histories. The island’s layered past speaks to migration, transformation, and silent witness. Rising above, a half-giant silhouette beckons wanderers to drift through light and shadow. Here, shared dreams mingle with tides, stories intertwine, and a sanctuary of stillness emerges, inviting communion that transcends words.

The Bridge, The Island, The Bay: Steel ghost, bridge of time, shadows breathe; stories unfold, tides dance, light entwines.

The Bridge, The Island, The Bay reimagines architecture as dynamic performance, merging landscape and spaces. Structures invite interaction, reflecting the transformative essence of Glebe Island Bridge and its evolving environment.

The Echo Vessel, a towering silo, anchors the narrative, bridging Glebe Island and its bridge. The Lattice Theatre transforms architecture into a dynamic stage, where structure, light, and movement intertwine.

Each floor within The Echo Vessel engages with the Glebe Island Bridge uniquely, responding to its mechanical movements, light, and environmental shifts, creating dynamic connections that enhance the architectural experience.

The Bridge, Island, and Bay project envisions a vibrant hub where crowds connect across historic spaces, witnessing performances that celebrate transformation, heritage, and the dynamic energy of Glebe Island.
